Sven Winkelmann

Sven Winkelmann serves as a Professor at the Nuremberg Institute of Technology, teaching computer science and programming for engineers, human-machine dialogue systems, and applied artificial intelligence. His office is located in Space WE.313, with consultation hours accessible via Calendly.

His research centers on designing natural interactions between humans and ML-based systems, specifically through Conversational AI and Explainable AI frameworks. Key projects include user experience studies in driving simulators, voice control applications for healthcare data integration in vehicles, and fatigue warning system evaluations. He investigates how to make automated decisions comprehensible to users while enabling user influence over system behavior.

Prof. Winkelmann actively supervises student theses on AI-human interaction topics, including voice dialogue corpus development for health trackers, large-language model integration in automotive contexts, and voice assistant acceptance studies for elderly populations. His industry collaborations include Mercedes-Benz on AI agent concepts and AWO Seniorennetzwerk on aging-focused UX research.
